It seems like there is almost a new energy drink every week.
Personally I usually drink Monster (green).
I was just wondering if anyone else seems to have this addiction?

Coffee?
I thinking more along lines of the cold energy drinks you generally see at the stores beside Coke and Pepsi.
We used to take a canteen of water and a few cans of coke fishing when we were out on the lake, now it seems like bottled water and engery drinks. I rarely buy pop/soda anymore, unless its mix ... like rye & coke, or Gin & 7.

My new favorite is the Red Amp. I also like the original. Tried some Jolt, but had a bad experience once. Did Red Bull once, but didn't like the taste and fell asleep drinking it.

Mostly Monster and Red Bull. I tried the Java Monster before, and it wasn't half bad, but I'll be sticking to regular Monster from now on. I wanted to try Bawls, but never got around to it.
I remember Kotaku did an article on energy drinks rating them based on taste and energy, and Monster took the trophy (IIRC). So, can't go wrong with the best!

SoBe Adrenaline Rush FTW! Tastes fruity and has a nice kick. Not at all chemical flavor like some. Rockstar was awful in my opinion. Tried to taste orange-ish, but failed miserably.

Wow.... I can't believe Bawls wasn't an option. Bawls is, in my opinion, the best tasting energy drink. It doesn't have a chemically flavor like many others.... thats probably because the only energy giving substance in it is Guarana. BAWLS!

TNWVboy, I totally agree. Rockstar is the worst. The local store here had Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster and another one called Joker. It was the long weekend and also bass season opener, they were sold out of almost everything. There was a ton of Rockstar. Tried it and could not finish it. BTW Joker tasted a lot like Monster.

I'm no homophobe, but they guys would never let a person live down the fact you drank a drink called Balls .. regardless of the spelling. The ribbing and torment would be endless. However, considering that, losing a bet may now result in drinking a bottle of my bawls! ROFL!

Can't stand anything with Taurine in it.
Sobe Essential Energy for me - carbonated, caffeinated, and citrus. The 3C's of radness.
AMP (original) was a previous favourite until drinking a TallBoy and feeling like my heart was about to explode out my chest. Decided to tone it back after that.

Agree. My room mate in college got my introduced to it. I haven't found it in bottles outside of MI though. I've seen canned around IL in Targets, but there's something to be said about the bottles.

You are correct, sir. Unfortunately hardly any stores sell adrenaline rush anymore.
While it is great by itself, Absolut Citron + Sobe Adrenaline Rush + a splash of grenadine = amazing. Normally I'm a scotch drinker but you gotta have a fruitier drink every once and a while and this is the best one.

180 of course, they sponsored the Diggnation trip to St. Louis!

Oh how I love the Red Bull!
It's my substitute since I stopped drinking soda 3 years ago.
Once I drank 10 of them in under 2 Hours at The Gathering (World's second largest Lan Party)
Big mistake! I began shaking and couldn't stop moving around, after the energy was used up I fell apart at my pc :D
So now I occasionally drink 1-2 every month.

None for me. A few that I've looked at had ingredients such as phenylalanine. No thanks. Pregnant women should also avoid it, to protect their babies from neurological disorders.

I like Bawls a lot, but my favorite has to be Rip-it. I'm assuming it's a local Michigan brand as no one has mentioned it, but it's only a buck and it tastes great. My personal favorite flavor is atomic Pom. Give me anything with pomagranate and I'll drink it right up!

Rockstar Juiced is delicious and healthier than most energy drinks. I don't like reg Rockstar but 'Juiced' is bloody awesome.

Totally agree.
On the rare occasion I have an energy drink I have Rockstar Juiced. I hate the taste of all other energy drinks I've tried.

I used to drink Jolt (still do on occasion) but Bawls ahs replaced Jolt as the official hacker soft drink.
